​Dear Florian,

Thanks!  Your qenum_key() looks promising *except for*:​


   1. I cannot find anything suitable to pass in as `base`, e.g.

   qenum_key(QtCore.Qt, role, klass=QtCore.Qt.ItemDataRole)

   does not work.  I don't understand what it is I need here which has a
   base.staticMetaObject?
   2. Is this whole principle going to work for QtCore.Qt.ItemDataRole?  So
   far as I can see, it's not some kind of enum in PyQt, it's just a class
   derived from int with a bunch of sundry member variables for various
   values.

Kindest,
